We have several legitimate uses where we export symbols
annotated with one of:
__devinit, __cpuinit, __meminit and their exit counterpart.
So let's stop warning about those being exported in favour
of adding all sorts of workaround to silence the warning.

On the per-architecture side, I do think it would be better to *not* have
internal architecture knowledge in a generic file, and as such a line like

It would be much better to do
depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES

have a

default y
in *their* architecture files. That would seem to be much more logical,
and is readable both for arch maintainers *and* for people who have no
clue - and don't care - about which architecture is supposed to support
which interface...

Actually, I know I gave this as the magic incantation, but now that I see

I don't think it's a good idea to go back to making it per-architecture,
although that extensive "depends on <list-of-archiectures-here>" might
indicate that there certainly is room for cleanup there.
And I don't think it's wrong keeping it in kernel/Kconfig.xyz per se, I
just think it's wrong to (a) lump the code together when it really doesn't
necessarily need to and (b) show it to users as some kind of choice that
is tied together (whether it then has common code or not).

Sam Ravnborg:
Stuff it into a new file: arch/Kconfig
We can then extend this file to include all the 'trailing'
Kconfig things that are anyway equal for all ARCHs.
But it should be kept clean - so if we introduce such a file
then we should use ARCH_HAS_whatever in the arch specific Kconfig
files to enable stuff that is not shared.
[...]
The above suggestion is actually not exactly the best way to do it...
First the naming..
A quick grep shows following usage today (in Kconfig files)
ARCH_HAS 51
ARCH_SUPPORTS 4
HAVE_ARCH 7
ARCH_HAS is the clear winner.
In the common Kconfig file do:
config FOO
depends on ARCH_HAS_FOO
bool "bla bla"
config ARCH_HAS_FOO
def_bool n
In the arch specific Kconfig file in a suitable place do:
config SUITABLE_OPTION
select ARCH_HAS_FOO
The naming of ARCH_HAS_ is fixed and shall be:
ARCH_HAS_<config option it will enable>
Only a single line added pr. architecture.
And we will end up with a (maybe even commented) list of trivial selects.

The conflicting commit for
move-kconfiginstrumentation-to-arch-kconfig-and-init-kconfig.patch
is the ARM fix from Linus :
commit 38ad9aebe7
He just seemed to agree that my approach (just putting the missing ARM
config options in arch/arm/Kconfig) works too. The main advantage it has
is that it is smaller, does not need a cleanup in the future and does
not break the following patches unnecessarily.
It's just been discussed here
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/15/267
However, Linus might prefer to stay with his own patch and I would
totally understand it that late in the release cycle. Therefore I submit
this for the next release cycle.

We have had warnings for a long time about select of unknow symbol
but the warnings does not really makes sense since we may
select a symbol that is relevant and defined in one
arch but not in another arch.
And as long as we do not use a common set of Kconfig files
for all archs lets just ignore this case.
Previously we have used this to find bad uses of
select but we need a more relaible method to do so.

Commit 312b1485fb made __INIT_REFOK expand
into .section .section ".ref.text", "ax". Since the assembler doesn't
tolerate stuttering in the source that broke all MIPS builds.
Since with this change Sam downgraded __INIT_REFOK to just a backward
compat thing and there being only a single use in the MIPS arch code the
best solution is to delete both of __INIT_REFOK and __INITDATA_REFOK (which
was equally broken) being unused anyway these can be deleted.

kernel/ksysfs.c seems to be a random dumping group for misc globals
that the rest of the tree depend on. This has caused problems with
exports in the past when sysfs is disabled, which can already be
observed in commit-id 51107301b6.
The latest one is the kernel_kobj usage, which presently results in:
fs/built-in.o: In function `debugfs_init':
inode.c:(.init.text+0xc34): undefined reference to `kernel_kobj'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
kernel/ksysfs.c itself at this point only contains globals and some
basic sysfs initialization, the sysfs initialization code is optimized
out when we build with sysfs disabled. Given that, it's easier to just
build in unconditionally, rather than trying to find some other random
place to dump and initialize the globals.
Additionally, the current trend seems to be decoupling of kobjects from
sysfs, in which case it still makes sense to perform the kernel_kobj
initialization that happens here even if sysfs is disabled, as
lib/kobject.o is built-in unconditionally.

Investigating each case closer it looked like all
referred functions are only used in the init phase
or during hotplug.
So to avoid wasting too much memory in the non-hotplug
case the simpler fix was to allow the fuctions to
use code/data from the __devinit sections.
This was done in all four case by adding the __ref
annotation.

Frederik Himpe reported an unkillable and un-straceable pan process.
Zero length iovecs can go into an infinite loop in writev, because the
iovec iterator does not always advance over them.
The sequence required to trigger this is not trivial. I think it
requires that a zero-length iovec be followed by a non-zero-length iovec
which causes a pagefault in the atomic usercopy. This causes the writev
code to drop back into single-segment copy mode, which then tries to
copy the 0 bytes of the zero-length iovec; a zero length copy looks like
a failure though, so it loops.
Put a test into iov_iter_advance to catch zero-length iovecs. We could
just put the test in the fallback path, but I feel it is more robust to
skip over zero-length iovecs throughout the code (iovec iterator may be
used in filesystems too, so it should be robust).
